Staff report

Pennstar Bank plans to close its branch on Seven Bridge Road in Marshalls Creek by Oct. 11.

All accounts maintained at the branch will be transferred to Pennstar's nearby office in East Stroudsburg at 107 Brown St. next door to Cluck-U-Chicken. The East Stroudsburg outlet is a full service branch with drive-up tellers, an ATM machine, night depository, safe deposit boxes and expanded hours.

About 3,000 households will be affected by the closing, according to Elizabeth Nagy, assistant vice president and marketing manager at Pennstar Bank.

"We took a lot of time and effort to consider all our options and decided to consolidate branches due to retail and business trends in the community," she said.

Pennstar also has branches in Bartonsville, Mount Pocono and Mountainhome.
